Low Rise Pants Expose Diapers

It was bad enough when I realized a few years ago that I just wasn't going to be able to find a pair of jeans that buttoned somewhere above my hip bones unless I started shopping at Lane Bryant. No offense to anyone, but to paraphrase Erin Brockovich, as long as I have one *** instead of two, I'll wear what I like if that's all right with you.

But when it comes to toddlers, low rise just doesn't work. When little ones bend and jump and squirm, as you can count on them doing pretty much all the time, a low cut exposes the diaper -- bigtime. This is especially bad for me, since I'm, uh, embarrassed that my child is still wearing a pull up.

I suspect that many designers of baby clothes don't actually have kids of their own. So they just design the same things that big girls (women) wear, just smaller. Would that it worked the other way. Oh how I wish they made those adorable Gap tights, skirts and boots in my size!
